Eagle, Idaho??!!! - 11/17/07

Hit #7 on Where's George? came in today @ 2:33 p.m. Bill #261 George note landed in Eagle, Idaho. Where in Idaho is that? I had to google it to find out.

I have tried getting cs to join in on the fun, but she has a fear of being contacted by the Department of Homeland Security or ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms — don't ask me why they're the ones to investigate money issues.

I told her, No problem. Where's George^® can handle that. They're called Stealth Bills. We just register the bills on the website, but don't stamp them. It will be a bit tougher to get some hits, but it's worth a try.

No way, José. I think that's weird and I don't want nuthin' to do with it!

One man's hobby is another woman's ATF nightmare.

Numismatist unite! - 10/20/07

Lending a helping hand to a fellow numismatist.

I went shopping at Costco today and received 4-$1 bills like above. I was immediately jealous when I spied the cool Where's George? stamp on the front. It also had a similar stamp like mine on the back.

Where's George? - 5/26/07

I just found a cool website: Where's George?

Where's George? is a website that tracks the natural geographic circulation of American paper money. It has grown sufficiently popular that it has led to the establishment of a number of other currency tracking websites, as well as sites that track other objects, such as used books.

When cs and I first met (and I had excess cash), I used to put my initials on the dollar bills that I had. She asked me why. I said that I wanted to see if I ever got any of them back — never did. Needless to say, it was one of my endearing quirks that fascinated her…and that she thought she could cure after we were married. Instead, she used it to her advantage by encouraging me to spend my money…on her…with the theory that the sooner I put the money into circulation, the sooner it would have the chance of returning back to me. Where's George? will make life so much easier and simpler!

So, be on the lookout for B44974113D.

Ways that Where's George? Bills can be identified.
